Also the time loop concept; we need a few more Groundhog Day style games in the world. <br /><br />In fact I was pretty much won over by the tone of the game myself at first... right up the point where I ended up in Clock Town and found out what I was expected to be doing there. It sort of kicked the enthusiasm right out of me.Ray Hardgrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436491500347661133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-38112705472276426782015-01-30T21:29:18.008+00:002015-01-30T21:29:18.008+00:00You missed out Condemned: Criminal Origins this ti...You missed out Condemned: Criminal Origins this time! I&#39;ve put them all on the list I draw from whenever it&#39;s a good time for me to play a suggested game, but I can&#39;t promise anything. The list is getting close to 120 titles long now, and though I do try to learn towards playing games suggested by people who are still around and commenting, satisfaction is very much not guaranteed. Unless I can somehow trick mecha-neko into coming back and playing them all..Ray Hardgrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436491500347661133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-35988166123973555672015-01-30T15:29:37.790+00:002015-01-30T15:29:37.790+00:00Great review.

I never really cared for the Zelda series and never even played any on the N64 nor Mario 64 when my mother bought me one in 1996, just Star Wars Shadows of the Empire, WWE Wrestling and a few other games with friends like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Pokeman and Turok. I do have Mario 64 and these N64 games on rom though. I liked the NES Zelda games a bit more. <br /><br />Also Ray I hope sometime you review Minecraft (Demo version) Scratches and Darkseed, maybe Monkey Island too.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726378762009685237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-40538677618590687402015-01-29T23:21:52.343+00:002015-01-29T23:21:52.343+00:00I love the Zelda games but more in terms of genera...I love the <i>Zelda</i> games but more in terms of general principle than being a super fan of the entire series. I know it&#39;s considered blasphemy but I didn&#39;t think much of <i>Ocarina of Time</i> but I&#39;m a fan of the SNES one and <i>Wind Waker</i>. I&#39;ve only played about ten minutes of <i>Majora&#39;s Mask</i> and stopped when it crashed but I enjoyed what I did get to see, in large part because of that dark apocalyptic feel Kizor mentions above.Kelvin Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-21982851280763971952015-01-29T10:12:00.020+00:002015-01-29T10:12:00.020+00:00I bounced right off of Twilight Princess but like ...I bounced right off of <i>Twilight Princess</i> but like this game a lot, even though the gameplay too often consists of banging your head against the wall. I guess it helps that I&#39;m also a <i>Pilotwings</i> fan.<br /><br />It involves helping people beyond just the usual ways of fetching little Timmy back from the forest and getting rid of the quest markers over their heads. There&#39;s an awfully strong temptation to try to do all their sidequests in one loop right before finishing the game.<br /><br />It&#39;s also ridiculously dark for a <i>Zelda</i> game. (The mirror shield has an image of a screaming face on it, and Link keeps the thing on his back, staring at the player. What?) That darkness starts right from the unobtrusive but oppressive place of the clock on the UI. It makes the setting intriguing. The inhabitants aren&#39;t exactly deep, but many of them know what&#39;s coming and are trying to deal with it. The last time I played, I kept track of how many loops Link had gone through on principle. When the time to do quests ran out, I wouldn&#39;t loop right away. I&#39;d take a breather and look at the world, the sea, the buildings, anything, right as they were about to be destroyed, then warp away with moments left. You can tell that the game&#39;s left an impression.<br /><br />That Deku Scrub animation still plays in full every time, the game has it share of roaming around dungeons looking for the one thing somewhere to push, and solutions can be along the lines of &quot;Knock over this particular snowbank in a snowfield. Wall, head, bang.<br /><br />Oh, and the banker marks your account balance on your hand. You&#39;re not sending cash through time, you&#39;re just ripping him off.Kizornoreply@blogger.com
